'Do you always sleep in separate beds?' A question from her outspoken friend Kiki shocks Amelia Bradlow into taking stock of her 'perfect' life. She might have the adoring husband, the flat in Mayfair and the weekend cottage, but what about the things that really matter? Like the unmentionable matter of the baby they haven't had . . . Just when she is most confused, up pops gorgeous Joseph Renwick - the first boy she ever kissed - back in town and dangerously single. Struggling to put thoughts of him aside, Amelia makes some big changes. A reinvigorated career and a style makeover turn her into a new woman - but husband Ed preferred the old one. So with her internal clock ticking ever louder, Amelia has to decide whether to stay in her nearly happy marriage, or take a gamble on going solo. Is it better to break your own heart than to settle for second best?

5.0 out of 5 stars
A thoroughly enjoyable audiobook experience,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Break Your Own Heart (Audio CD)
How to Break Your Own Heart is the complete and unabridged library edition audiobook on CD of Maggie Alderson's humorous novel about a very serious life choice. Amelia Bradlow has a loving husband, and wants a baby more than anything - but her husband is not interested in parenthood. Amelia is quickly approaching 37 and her biological clock is going to run out very soon - should she stay in her (mostly) happy marriage, or enter the uncertainty of single life on the distant chance of meeting the right man with whom to start a family? Though tongue-in-cheek witty, How to Break Your Own Heart is also thought-provoking, and overall a thoroughly enjoyable audiobook experience. Highly recommended. 11 CDs, 12 hours 25 minutes.

Great Summer Read,

This review is from: How To Break Your Own Heart (Paperback)
I've been reading Maggie Alderson's books since they were based in Sydney, and i've kept with her even thought they're now based in dreary london!
How To Break Your Own Heart is a wonderfully touching and funny book. Once again she has created wonderful characters that remind everyone of people they love. She's even done a Peter Mayle describing France and it's wines. Perfect to read at the beach or steal yourself away for a weekend, which is exactly what i did!
